Planting Instructions: Dig hole big enough to allow 12” of fill soil between root ball and the sides of the hole. Install the plant so that the top of the root ball is slightly higher than existing soil grade. Backfill with topsoil and water heavily to eliminate air pockets. Best if anchored for the first 2 years.
